You Will Need
A plain white top – sleeveless is easiest. Look for linen or cotton. You don’t want the top to be stretch
Scissors, thread and needle
Some beautiful lace - about 50cm
Small pearl beads
-
Step 1Lay your top flat, with the side seams at the very edges.
Use the top as a template to cut the lace – leave a little extra on the sides to allow sewing space. If the top is on the cropped side (mine is) cut the bottom edge a little lower. I used four extra rows of the lace detail. -
Step 2Hand-stitch the lace to your top. Stitch along the top and into the side seams. It will definitely be easier if your top doesn’t have a stretch to it.
-
Step 3Embellish with a few beads if you are feeling like it needs a little extra sparkle.
-
Step 4Trim away any excess lace and wear your new creation
